Govt proposes opening up nurse practitioner access to private health rebates
The proposed changes would also add credentialled mental health nurses and some GP practice nurses in remote areas to the list.
Patients with chronic disease management plans under private health insurance could soon claim rebates for nurse practitioner consultations under a Federal Government proposal.
Currently, patients can use their private health insurance (PHI) to fund chronic disease care from 14 types of health professional, from audiologists to podiatrists, if they have a management plan.
